I agree with press on the rightmost of the work space if you're right-handed. I'd mount it right over the side post/support for stability.

I work on 2 different 4'x4' benches. I use 3 of 4 sides of each of them. One thing you might consider is moving the bench out away from teh wall so you could work on 3 sides of it; but I realize it's much narrower than my 4'x4' benches, so that may not work.

I have a nomad L and a 6.5 ultra 7 (and a bunch of loud AR cans).

Will the nomad L with a brake be louder to my ears than the ultra 7?

I like this idea but not if it's uncomfortable for popping a deer without ears.

I would think so but only one way to find out.

I use Watco Butcher block oil & finish.
You can find it at Home Depot.

Whenever it gets a little dirty you can pass a scotchbrite pad of fine sandpaper over it and add a couple of coats.

I haven’t treated it in the last 5 years.

I would love to see a 20 shot group at 100 yards sized 1.5” or under out of an AK or AR with any form of com block ammo. Not 5 shot groups, too small of a sample size.

That rifle looks great! I that were mine I would send the entire rifle to lri and have him thread the barrel and inlet his BM in that stock and rock that shit! Be almost original but allow you to use a suppressor and the updated BM will be an amazing upgrade.

I haven’t looked. But I’m assuming it was a 22-24”. I’ll be happy if the barrel sped up and picked up 100-150fps and got me to 2400

you want a real problem with stuff stuck in flash holes, use rice. I let Porkan convince me to try that, and I sat at the coffee table one night with a paper clip manual disimpacting about 15% of them, and they get stuck real good. Pain in the ass to remove. I also dont want errant pieces of rice stuck inside the case where I can't see them, as they will take up volume and I presume cause pressure spikes. My advice: avoid Porkan's brain child (which he sells on his website in a branded version - "specially ground" or simething like that).

I want to "screen" mine to make it last longer with less dust - gotta remember to pick up a screen next time I'm at Lowe's. For now, I've been tearing old t-shirts into small strips and throwing in 5-6 of them. They work way better than dryer sheets. you could wash and reuse if you wanted, I just throw them away.

I'm going to have to try the open tumbler outside with a fan trick next time.

He probably got his ass handed to him at a match by a Canadian shooting an AI and is now butt hurt.

Well, after wanting an Orange Bench Vice for nearly two years now, and missing out on one to come available in a reasonable amount of time, I committed and paid for one directly from Orange.

When I called this morning to check on availability, there was a black one that was going to be available next week, and black was what I wanted. Unfortunately, my email to commit to the purchase wasn't delivered, and half an hour passed before I sent it again, and it was sold to another person in that short time.

So what the Hell, I ordered one anyway, and will patently wait the 7-8 weeks they said it would take to build.

No worries, as my mancave, won't be ready for it for a few more months.

I have a cz 457 with a mueller barrel and grey birch chassis.

MD for a guardian match.

really love what guardian does.

Basically the only differences in your options are:
do you want control round feed/mechanical ejection or do you want push feed/spring ejection?

I personally prefer controlled round feed actions with mechanical ejection.

just saw the sales on these. 1000, for scope, +300 for spuhr.

typical butcher block treatment is mineral oil and beeswax

could also stain with any minwax you want and finish with layer(s) of acrylic or polyurethane like wood floors

Shocked this hasn’t sold yet. Really good price for a sweet optic.
